- Found it
Two new high terrain OpenCaches, these act on me as a bright light to a moth 
.
The original plan was for Ian (Woking Wonders) and myself to do this one, then to meet Steve (DigDug) for the more difficult il Nono Cerchio. But plans change, and things often work out for the best - it ended up that we all did it together.
And that was just as well, because this was actually rather trickier than I had anticipated it might be, and I was pleased to have the security and confidence of Steve's experience even for this one. I understand the rating needs to differentiate this one from il Nono Cerchio, but the puzzle is just as tricky to solve and I've done many less difficult 5 star terrain cache listed on Groundspeak. It's not one to be taken "lightly", if you'll pardon the pun.
So, we came, and we saw the light, and found a very fine cache .
A TOP CACHE - indeed, the very TOP TOP CACHE, with 24 points (visit the TOP CACHE page). Why didn't it get the maximum 25? Really only because I feel that once I've awarded a 25 pointer I've got no headroom if something even better comes along .
Thanks for a really excellent cache - a well constructed cache page typical of abanazar, some challenging terrain, and a big WOW .
And many thanks too to DigDug for guiding us.
Rgds, Andy
